“there is a time for everything. When time and action are synchronised - right action at the right time by the right person - achievement and success are normally the outcome.”
― My Watch Volume 3: Now and Then
― My Watch Volume 3: Now and Then
“Inability to focus and concentrate is the greatest enemy of goals and achievement.”

“another drawback is inadequate training. Management training on a regular basis is a sine-qua-non for good performance in management. The principles of management are basically the same as they involve men, money and materials. Applications vary slightly depending on the nature of what is being managed, at what level and for what purpose. New ideas, innovations and new practices may emerge from time to time which a manager needs to be conversant with. Otherwise he will be way behind or even obsolete. Training and exposure act as tonic for renewal and reshaping of a manager. There can be no adequate substitute for such training, interaction and exposure until one ceases to be an active manager. To think that once one is in management position, there is no further need for training through formal and informal interaction and exposure is, I believe, the height of folly.”
